Annabel the Baby Wonk
As John Kerry began his acceptance speech, we set Annabel down on a quilt on the living room floor with some toys near at hand, as we often do. She turned her head toward the TV and watched the entire thing. With every appearance of rapt attention, and with kicks and arm flails that more or less fit in with rhetorical flourishes and crowd roars. It was hilarious.
As for the speech itself, I'm still processing. I liked it, but I'm a member of the choir he's preaching to. He wasn't as oratorically impressive as Clinton or Obama, but I really don't see that as a problem--it's not like he's running against them. I thought he hit the right notes, but me=choir.
